Local Quilt Shop Day

Today is Visit Your Local Quilt Shop Day! I'm sure it's a celebration aimed at bringing a little business their way, but you may find some extra great deals today so check out what your LQS has to offer. There are a few shops in my area but the closest one to my house it the Boutique 4 Quilters. It is just five minutes away from my house so I frequently go there to get last minute bits and pieces for projects I'm working on.

They have a great selection of prints to choose from and a great selection of notions and patterns too. One favorite thing about this shop is their zipper selection, you know how many zipper pouches I make. Their zippers cost almost half what they do at Joann and they have every color of the rainbow. Their staff is so nice too. Their LQS Day deal is Buy 2 Fat quarters Get One Free!

If you visit a Local Quilt Shop today, and take a photograph, you can enter your photo in a contest to win a new sewing machine and fabric money. Click here for details. I will be heading to the Rockledge one today in search of some side strip fabric for my Herringbone quilt. I have 25 blocks done!! 10 more to go.
